Webster (1793-1875) studied medicine and surgery in London, and in 1815 signed up to serve in the Royal Navy as an assistant surgeon. Because it was peacetime, however, he did not secure a position until 1828, when he was posted as ship's surgeon on the South Atlantic scientific mission of HMS Chanticleer under Captain Henry Foster (1796-1831), a Fellow of the Royal Society with extensive experience of surveying expeditions.

Volume 2 describes Central America and Panama, where, after successfully completing longitude measurements using rockets, Captain Foster tragically drowned. The second half of the volume summarises the scientific observations made during the voyage, and contains the cumulative index. …

Certain scientific problems in the fields of magnetism, navigation, currents, meteorology, geology, and oceanography were also studied for the Royal Society. The commander, Captain Foster, had been astronomer to Sir William Edward Parry on his third voyage and was himself a distinguished Arctic explorer. In 1831 Foster was unfortunately drowned in a canoe accident in Panama towards the end of this voyage. Among the officers were Lt. H.F.Austin and Sir Richard Collinson, both of whom were later involved in the search for Sir John Franklin. The Chanticleer visited Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Patagonia, Staten Island, the South Shetland Islands, the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and several Brazilian and Spanish South American ports."
